Norco is a beautifully designed pixel point and click adventure that takes place in the thick of the New Orleans area in Louisiana. It was a decent experience, however I felt like the narrative didn't captivate me anywhere near as much as a game like Kentucky Route Zero, which carried a similar approach to the area around the Rust Belt. The ending of the game lost me a bit, and the combat that is included is largely lackluster and pointless. Personally I didn't feel much of an attachment to the majority of characters within the game, even though I some of them were written with an enjoyable sense of humor and personality.

I'd only play this if you have an active Game Pass Subscription, otherwise I'd wait for a deep sale.
